Chapter 22 (2/2)

“Is it so expensive because of the taste?”

Gao Ying felt disbelief. No matter how delicious it was, it couldn’t be that exaggerated. Look at the happiness on his face!

“Your Egg Fried Rice Set. Help yourself, please.” Gao Ying’s thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of her Egg Fried Rice.

Gao Ying looked closely at the set meal and cutlery in front of her. Afterward, she pulled out some disinfecting wipes with “For Medical Purpose” printed on them from her handbag. After wiping the two different sized spoons, she started her meal.

The first target was definitely the seaweed soup. After having walked for so long and spoken so much, thirst was inevitable.

The soup spoon was specially prepared and the size was just in proportion to the small bowl, hence one spoonful didn’t hold much soup. Nevertheless, Gao Ying managed to get a perfect spoonful of soup, with a small piece of seaweed and more than half a spoon of soup. She then sent the spoon gracefully into her mouth, without even messing up her lipstick.

After taking a slight sip, she swallowed. Instantly, the flavor of the soup exploded in her mouth.

Yes, it was indeed an explosion. One could hardly imagine how delicious the cool and refreshing soup was for the taste to be described as an explosion.

From the tongue tip to the tongue root, then the throat, esophagus and last, the stomach, all were cheering with joy as each drop passed through them. This was the kind of delicacy that made people reach the peak of joy, simply indescribable by words. Not until now did Gao Ying understand the expression of delight on the small mustache man’s face.

That blissful expression was not faked!

Currently, Gao Ying couldn’t control her expression at all. No. She had no time to be concerned about that. All the cells throughout her body were shouting for her to eat! To eat up all the food in front of her! Without further ado, she began to eat, one spoonful of Egg Fried Rice, followed by one spoonful of seaweed soup and then a piece of pickled radish. How wonderful it was to have meal like that.

Time passed and it was already 12:10. There were more and more passerby in the street. Along with some of her friends who often came here, Yin Ya took up all the remaining 6 seats.

“Hu”

Patting her fairly proud peaks, Yin Ya sighed in relieve and then spoke to her colleagues, “Fortunately we are early today.”

“You’re right. Fortunately, we were smart enough to clock out and get off work right on time. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait again.” Another girl with short hair and brow-skimming bangs sitting beside Yin Ya also rejoiced and sighed with emotion.

The several girls chirped for a while before Yin Ya started to ask her regular question.

“Boss, is the new dish available today?”

“Yes, it’s available now. It was just ready for sale this noon. What they are eating now is the new dish.” Yuan Zhou gave a wee smile and pointed to the table in front of Gao Ying and Wu Hai who were tasting their set meal carefully.

“Wow! There is soup served today. Ok, I like that one. Get one for me, please. Looking at where Yuan Zhou was pointing, Yin Ya immediately saw Gao Ying who was drinking the soup and decided to order that set meal happily.

“Yin Ya, look at the price.” The short-hair girl gently pulled Yin Ya and showed her the menu.

Now, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant no longer had the awkward situation of having only two or three customers. There were many regulars, and the restaurant had become popular through word of mouth. These girls were colleagues of Yin Ya, whom had been brought to the restaurant one by one. Now, they came almost every day and didn’t have any dissent with the price for a plate of Egg Fried Rice.

The reason why they had such a reaction this time was because they saw the dinner wares in front of the small mustache man Wu Hai and Gao Ying, thus they got a little suspicious.

“Boss, there were only two more things for the set meal?”

Looking at the price of 288RMB, Yin Ya also got a little astonished. Although her monthly salary was good, but she still felt the heartache of having such an expensive meal once, every day. After all, girls had to spend a lot in various places.

“Please rest assured. The side dishes are qualified to match the Egg Fried Rice. Do give it a try.” Yuan Zhou said to Yin Ya just as he carried out her Egg Fried Rice Set.
